Dawson, 26, was one of just two surviving members of the Yeovil side that won promotion to the Championship in 2013.

Signed from Irish club Shelbourne in January 2013, Dawson established himself as an automatic choice on the right side of midfield and played a crucial role in that Wembley triumph.

Dawson remained a key member of the squad in the Championship and on the club’s return to League One, but suffered a hip injury in Yeovil’s FA Cup tie with Manchester United in January 2015 and was ruled out for more than a year.
